A mobile blood collector named Chi is collecting an SST and two lavender tops (one for a glycohemoglobin and one for a CBC) on a client named Louise Jones. He ﬁlls the SST, lays it down while he places the ﬁrst lavender top in the tube holder, then picks it up and mixes it as the lavender top is ﬁlling. When the lavender top is full, he lays it down while he places the second lavender top in the tube holder. The second lavender top fails to ﬁll with blood, so he makes several needle adjustments to try to establish blood ﬂow. Nothing works, so he decides to try a new tube. The new tube works fine. While it is ﬁlling, he picks up the ﬁrst lavender top and mixes it. After completing the draw he labels his tubes, putting the hematology label on the lavender top he collected ﬁrst. He ﬁnishes up with the client, delivers the specimens to the laboratory, and goes to lunch. When he returns from break his supervisor tells him to recollect the CBC on Louise Jones because the specimen had a clot…

A 38-year-old white woman was treated in the emergency department for severe lacerations and abdominal injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was admitted to the hospital for observation and further evaluation. On admission, a complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, and radiograph series were ordered. Her CBC results were as follows: Hemoglobin 10.5 g/dL Hct 34% RBC 3.8 × 1012/L WBC 12.0 × 109 /L The RBC indices were as follows: MCV 89.6 fL MCH 27.6 pg MCHC 31 g/dL The peripheral blood smear showed essentially normal RBC morphology and platelet distribution. Forty-eight hours after admission, a stat repeat CBC was ordered. The results were as follows: Hemoglobin 8.0 g/dL Hct 26% RBC 2.9 × 1012/L WBC 15.5 × 109 /L The RBC indices were all within their normal ranges. A peripheral blood smear showed normal RBC morphology, although some polychromatophilia was noted. The distribution of platelets had increased. A follow-up platelet count was 0.60 × 1012/L.…
